| We prefer out of all the parks to visit Epcot on our visits, the World showcase gives you the chance to see the diffrent cultures and also they have there own restraunts to try the diffrent cuisine and shops to buy products from that particular country.
Mousegear is a huge Disney store and the fireworks are very good. | | Report this post to a moderator | goto top of page |

| Another vote for Epcot, it is probably our fav park, although that tends to change depending on which one we're in
The restaurants are possibly the best of any park, Chef de France being a firm fav.
Give it a try if you haven't been there before and I'm sure you won't be disappointed. |

| We love Epcot for its diversity,I see it as almost two parks in one though.
It has lots of little things you might miss on a first visit so you can spend lots of time here. It is also a very good evening park for a wander around the lake and the fantastic fireworks.
The girls really enjoy all the science and educational attractions in the Innovations area. We have made plastic robots and hand made paper as well as stopping at all the kidcot stops for colouring and masks ect
During some of the events ie Food & Drink Festival or Flower & Garden Festival we have made pipe cleaner flowers, bee magnets and come away with samples of honey, peanuts and seeds to plant.
My particular favourite event apart from the food & drink festival where I like to eat my way round the world is the Holidays Around the World where they have each countries Father Christmas or equivalent and special Christmas craft activities for the children.
There is always something going on and its all the small things that make it such a great park! | | Report this post to a moderator | goto top of page |

| we love epcot and i would say give it a go 
did you know EPCOT stands for "Enviromental Prototype Community Of Tomorrow" 
or once you've walked round this huge park a fitting alternative "Every Person Comes Out Tired"  |

Food and Wine in October time and Flower festival March through May (?) I love the world showcase, and Soaring and Race Track are 2 of my holiday fav rides.

| Yet another vote for Epcot.I think it is as informative as you want it to be.
When our children were young they just enjoyed the rides, as they have grown older I have noticed they have started to read the information which gives a greta insight into the World,conservation, energy together with a snapshot of the various cultures in the World showcase.
They still enjoy the rides and one of my favourite florida rides is Soarin' you have to make sure you take a ride on this.
We love Epcot and whilst not one of the larger Parks it has a lot to offer and a fantastic fireworks/ligh show in the evening. |

| | We love Epcot and for all the positive reasons already given. We celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary lunch there last July at the French Restaurant in The World Showcase ,all of us thoroughly enjoyed it .We asked our daughter which park she wished to visit in March and yes you ve guessed Epcot. |

| | We never did get to Epcot this trip in fact we never got to Disney at all or Universal or Seaworld . No complaints from The Boss ,our 12 year old ,she is a Cypress Gardens convert . its all about how many rides you can fit in one hour . You know she is right Cypress Gardens is well worth a visit. |

But it's great, we tried it for the first time last year and all my family loved it. We will be back again this year.
